Running....

Sometimes I look back at the decisions that I have made in my life and i question. What is right for me? Will things ever be the way they are in my dreams? I don't want people to look at me and feel sorry for the way I feel inside. I have a good life! Things always have a way of working out. But needless to say there is always this void. I was reading a book last night. And this man was someone who had everything. A great career, a family, friends. He fought hard and worked hard in every meaning of the word. But one day he realizes that he was always running from something. And despite all of his accomplishments, he never truley knew what he was running from. It made me think, will I always feel this way? Will I always be that person that is running away from something? When will I stop running from something and start running toward it instead?

In My Daughters Eyes

In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero. I am strong and wise, and I know no fear. But the truth is plain to see, she was sent to rescue me, I see who I wanna be, in my daughter's eyes. In my daughter's eyes, everyone is equal. Darkness turns to light, and the world is at peace. This miracle God gave to me, gives me strength when I am weak. I find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes. And when she wraps her hand around my finger, Oh, it puts a smile in my heart. Everything becomes a little clearer. I realize what life is all about. It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough; It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up. I've seen the light. It's in my daughter's eyes.

Off with a bang...

So we were told that it was going to snow 8 inches. The snow was suppossed to start at midnight and go through the night. Alani and I planned ahead, and went to the dollar store. Got two of the finest sledding saucers in town. Oh, and let me tell you. Im sure the on lookers were very jealous. We woke up early in the morning and of course ran to the window prepared to be amazed and to are surprize there was no more snow than the night before. But lucky for us it was all we needed to entertain us. We took our sled to a local hill. And, of course I sent Alani down the hill first. Unfortunately there was a little ramp that the kids had made in the way. I aimed Alani away from it. But of course she made a bee-line straight towards it and hit it like a champ. Feet in the air, flipping over. Now you all know my daughter....very dramatic. I go running to her aid in the white slipper boots that I had the great idea to wear in order to keep me as dry as possible. Well one little note...there was no grip on the bottom of these boots. Slippers and ice, not a good match. My feet went staight out from under me landing square on my back. I think everyone around got a good laugh. Needless to say Alani was at the bottom of the hill, VERY upset! She got over it quickly it and the rest of the day went off without a hitch.
